Phentermine: A Diet Drug That Works?

Phentermine is one of the hottest diet pills on the market today. Just type it into Google and stand back ... the results run well into the tens of millions. Claims about it range from improving hair growth to restoring male potency, and it's a sure thing eventually it will be touted as a cure for cancer.

The truth is that Phentermine does work, but there are facts you should know before choosing it as your weight loss aid.

Phentermine is an appetite suppressant, altering your brain chemistry by stimulating your neuron bundles to release substances called catecholamines. These are very primitive substances, which trigger the "fight or flight" response in your body, which suppresses hunger. A cornered or combative animal doesn't eat, and that's essentially the level on which the drug works. This is no caffeine pill or other over-the-counter remedy that has only a surface reaction.

Before you try this drug, it is very, very important that you consult with a doctor. There are online pharmacies that sell Phentermine, and that will give it to you without a real doctor's consultation. This is an extremely bad idea. There is a very complex set of risk factors and potential side effects that a doctor will explain to you and take into account before writing you a prescription.

One problem people taking the drug occasionally encounter is that they will develop a tolerance after taking the drug for a while. The tolerance is natural, as your body tries to adjust to the unnatural alteration of its brain chemistry by changing the amounts of neurotransmitters manufactured. There are different remedies ranging from drinking lemon water to avoiding caffeine mentioned on the Internet, and a whole cottage industry has grown up around products claiming to stop or slow the development of tolerance.

The real secret is that you shouldn't need Phentermine for long. If you follow a proper diet and exercise plan while using the drug, you will begin losing weight quickly. Weight loss develops its own momentum, and very soon you'll be able to get off the drug and fly with your own wings. That's when your real weight loss success story will start!
